Day 1 of the 2022 NHL Draft is in the books and 32 players had their names called Thursday night in Montreal.
There was some chaos to start Round 1, as the Canadiens elected not to take Shane Wright and instead, select Juraj Slafkovsky. The Devils and Coyotes also decided to pass on Wright, taking Simon Nemec and Logan Cooley, respectively. The Kraken eventually stopped the Kingston Frontenac's free fall by taking him at No. 4.
But the draft is far from over as the action resumes on Friday with the remaining six rounds set to take place. While there were players of high caliber taken yesterday, that does not mean there are none remaining.
In fact, some of the best NHL players were taken in Day 2 of their drafts. Here is a look at the best of the rest for Rounds 2-7 of the 2022 NHL Draft.
